How does Homestake work?

Homestake is a scheme set up by to help low earners in Scotland get a foot on the property ladder. It works in a similar way to shared ownership deals, helping you buy a property by giving a percentage of the equity to a registered social landlord. Homestake then allows you to buy back the rest of the property when you can afford it. Homestake rates are very reasonable, helping you purchase your first home.

Homestake rates - are you eligible?

Homestake rates are designed to be some of the most competitive available, making it easier for you to take out a deal. The scheme is currently only available in Scotland for people who match the following criteria:

- Low income household

- You have special housing requirements, for example housing for the elderly or disabled, OR:
- You have had a significant change in your circumstances (for example a divorce or bereavement), OR:
